Justification:
This species is assessed as Critically Endangered because it has a small EOO (~75 km2), occurs in only one location, is restricted to intact forest, and is suffering from ongoing declines inferred from habitat loss.

This species is known only from Texiguat Wildlife Refuge, Yoro and Atlantida Departments, Honduras, where it has been collected from 1,680 to 1,750 m asl (Townsend and Wilson 2010, Townsend et al. 2010).

This species occurs in Texiguat Wildlife Refuge in Honduras. Measures needed are greater resources to refuge operations as well as policies to prevent forest destruction. As of 2012, this refuge is under imminent threat of complete destruction.
